What are the Body Mass Index limits and categories for children in the Asia-Pacific?
Particularly for Filipino children, already seen the "age specific BMI chart" made by the CDC, however it's entitled "Growth Chart for the United States", hope someone knows the BMI limits for children in the Asia-Pacific and the categories involved.

How come Americans don't really complain about hitech jobs going to Asia?

How come Americans don't really complain about hitech jobs going to Asia?
They usually complain about low paying manufacturing jobs or complain about illegal immigration stealing apple picking jobs. If you go to companies nowadays, Indians and other Asians are coming over, learning the trade, and going back to Asia...but we're more quiet about that.

For one, we have enough to complain about. For two, there were probably more of those laborers than the high tech job people who lost their jobs. Also the high tech people are educated and can find work in another arena, while the factory workers are stuck not knowing what they are going to do.

"Interactive keys are useful multiple-entry identification tools for science. A web-based program called ActKey (URL: http://flora.huh.harvard.edu:8080/actkey/) was developed to enable online, ready-access to interactive identification keys. A number of keys have been imported into a centralized, relational database, and are now available for the floras of China, North America, Madagascar, Borneo, and the world. Plants from more than 40 of the largest genera of China can be identified using ActKey. Datasets containing taxa and their characters can be imported from a variety of database formats and updated by taxonomic specialists and editors" http://www.jstor.org/pss/25065490 Some Taiwanese plants are listed in Tropical flowering plants: a guide to identification and cultivation Von Kirsten Albrecht Llamas http://books.google.de/books?id=WxW4Scq6kU8C&pg=PA185&lpg=PA185&dq=identification+key%2Bherbaceous+plants%2Btaiwan&source=bl&ots=8fy4EebhhQ&sig=qCIHwfHlUHKW-91878LYBpN9KFE&hl=de&ei=dd6iTdD4CMrpOajviDU&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=8&ved=0CFAQ6AEwBzgK#v=onepage&q&f=false Checking these results, might be you find more specific or better sites > http://www.google.de/#q=identification+key%2Bherbaceous+plants%2Btaiwan&hl=de&prmd=ivnsb&ei=dd6iTdD4CMrpOajviDU&start=20&sa=N&fp=caadbcd4cd6b4584
